Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's home district includes San
Francisco. Star-Kist Tuna's headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi's
home
district. Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a major
contributor to Pelosi. Star-Kist is the major employer in American
Samoa employing
75% of the Samoan work force. Paul Pelosi, Nancy's husband, owns $17
million dollars of
Star-Kist stock. In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased
from $5.15
to $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del
Monte
would not have to pay the higher wage. This would make Del
Monte products less expensive than their competition's. Last week when
the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an
earmark to the final bill adding $33 million dollars for an 'economic
development credit in American Samoa'.
Get this CNN
expo on America's bitch.
Pelosi has called the Bush Administration "CORRUPT"? How do
you spell "HYPOCRISY"?
EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD GET THIS E-MAIL. IT IS ENOUGH
TO MAKE A HOLY PERSON ANGRY ENOUGH TO GO THROW THEM ALL OUT ON THEIR
BEHINds.
